“Of course it is!
Penny Jackson instinctively trembled.
“The Lopez family is also called the Corpse Walkers.
“I attended a martial arts conference not long ago in Kurbus.
I don’t know if it was just bad luck that day, but the young master, Cedric Lopez, got interested in me!
“I didn’t leave anything much back then. To prevent me from getting pestered, we added each other online before I immediately left!
“I also blocked him after that!
“I don’t know how he had that many connections to find out who I actually was! The Lopez family is even working together with my family for business!
“I have no idea what they gave my father for him to agree to a date like this!
“I kept refusing, but my father insisted that I’d have feelings for the young master after meeting each other, saying that young people’s feelings are developed during encounters !
“He doesn’t know that the man smells like formalin! I feel disgusted as soon as I get close to that man!
“The man even called me just now, saying that if I don’t meet with him right now…
“He’ll kill my mother and make her corpse chase me down until I do…
“He sounded like he was joking, saying that this was their highest form of respect towards one another…
“But that just sounds scary to me…”
Harvey wanted to steer clear since this was a family business. Since Darius Jackson already got his daughter to get married, he did not see any point for him to butt in…
But Cedric did seem a bit odd based on Penny’s description.
Besides, the Corpse Walkers were also involved in Mandy’s incident.
“I can help you with that,” Harvey said with a frown.
“But on one condition.”
“Of course! I’ll do anything!” replied Penny swiftly.
Penny had no intention of holding back.
As long as she could shake Cedric away, she would not mind Harvey taking advantage of her either.
She would just pretend that a ghost was weighing down on her.
Besides, anything was better than being jumped on by a literal corpse!
“We can never turn the play pretend into a real thing! You can’t take advantage of me, nor can you push yourself on me whenever you feel like it…” said Harvey sternly when he saw Penny’s shy expression.
“Leave!”
Penny was immediately enraged. She almost wanted to kick Harvey in the face at that very moment.
Harvey was scared witless. He was beginning to understand why Darius would agree to marry her daughter to the Corpse Walkers by now.
After all, Darius knew just how his daughter behaved.
It would already be good enough for Penny to get married in the first place.
What else could the father even ask for?
What a joke that would be!
***
At seven o’clock in the evening.
At the Red Pavillion beside the Rio River.
The Red Pavillion was one of Golden Sands’ largest private clubhouses. The place was brimming with lights and people walking around everywhere.
The people who showed up here were either rich or powerful.
Legends say that people from the upper social circle loved to arrange dates here.
Harvey had never been to one, so he naturally did not know about such a symbolic place.
He curiously looked around the place when Penny parked the car in the parking lot.
Then, she took him into an extremely spacious room.
